With the Rams expected to pick a quarterback first and the Cleveland Browns also expected to do the same at No. 2, both NFL.com analysts see Lynch — who is widely regarded as the third-best quarterback in the draft — in a free-fall. Writes Davis:

This might be an absolute pipe dream (with the run on QBs with the top two picks, is there ANY way he lasts this long?!), but it would be an ideal fit. Big, tall, with a cannon arm, and a love of the deep ball, Lynch is made to order for head coach Bruce Arians’ attacking style of offense, and he would get the opportunity to learn behind Carson Palmer for a season or two.

NFL.com’s draft profile says that Lynch is athletic for his size and could use a little cleaning up as a prospect.

While he might be categorized as a dual-threat quarterback, he showed that he’d rather use those quick feet to extend plays while still searching for passes.

Unlike other size/speed quarterbacks like Vince Young and Colin Kaepernick, Lynch prefers to extend passing plays with his feet rather than bolting from the pocket, but he is still likely to make plenty of plays with his feet over the long haul. Lynch shows the ability to read defenses and make smart decisions, but not yet at an NFL starting level.
